here it is! the fans are from frozenpcu and draw .40 amps each while moving 110 cfm each. The holes just happen to lineup perfect with 4" flanges so i screwed them right on... i have 10 2" holes for intake but need to add a few more. I got my pump from greenlivingforu its only 5w / 70 gph but works well. It was in the mid 80's in my sunroom when we tested the output temperature. The pic on the bottom right is a piece of paper being sucked up against the intake holes. Im pretty pleased with it so far..... thanks fig! you are kinda good-

Ok so I am just going to make the first one posted. Use the same pump and fan ect. My tent is like 6x6 and about 5 feet high.what battery should I get?The one you posted at Costco seems like over kill, am I right?

Ok, now that I've got the MH figured out (still needs some work), I'm going to try to tackle this thing. Gotta admit I'm a bit scared. I'm going to try and figure out as much as possible on my own so as to not annoy you, Fig, but imma need some help, dig? I guess first question would be (and I already sort of asked this, so sorry):

this is ok for a MH, right? A lot of people are talking about ducting the cool air into their tent or van. I don't plan on doing that. I plan on putting it in the middle of my MH and just have it blow towards the general seating area.

Is that cool? (pun intended hardy har har)[/quote]

I'll chime in- is your MH enclosed or open at the ends? The idea is to get dry outside air into the cooler. If your MH is enclosed, then you will need to get outside dry air into the cooler. If not, it might work OK in close vicinity (like lying in front of the fan) but far less effective than an enclosed space.

Interesting. So I suppose people could take turns in the chair. Or I could duct it into a tent then people can go pile in the tent to cool down, like getting in a car with the AC on. Maybe I'll set it up so it's tubed out into two directions, so two people can sit next to each other and both be cooled.

Well, good sir, I am not trying to turn the fine desert into something it isn't (Seattle). What I'm really trying to do is to provide a small space where some members of my camp can go to get a much needed respite from the heat and related exhaustion. Of course I want to cool myself too, but I mainly want to build the cooler as a gift to my camp that is doing so much for me by setting up, DJing, etc. I imagine seeing people crashed out under some silly shade structure, looking like they're considering going home early, and being like "hey, follow me...trust me". I bring them to a chair or two seating area, they sit down, close their eyes, exhale, then just look up with a smile and say "thank you"

(The philosopher would ask...so, are you doing that for them, or for how it makes YOU feel? To that I say, shutup. Quit analyzing things so much. I was a philosphy minor in college and I quit b/c I already way overanalyze things on my own. Circular thinking leads nowhere. Open your third eye....man)
